(2) And designing and constructing a cadmium telluride quantum dot sensing array. Different ligands are used for modifying water-soluble cadmium telluride quantum dots as fluorescent sensing elements to form a multi-channel array sensor. The reaction is carried out at normal temperature, and the specific sample adding sequence is 990uL of diluted quantum dot solution +10uL of organic acid, and ethanol is used as a control. The fluorescence spectra were obtained by measuring the fluorescence intensity of the quantum dot solutions in a 1X 1cm cuvette.
The application of the multi-channel array sensor based on quantum dot fluorescence quenching in the aspects of identifying organic acid samples and the like is as follows: adding an organic acid sample in parallel into each channel of the array sensor for reaction, adding an organic acid sample in parallel into each channel for reaction, wherein the reaction condition is usually room temperature mixing reaction for 10 minutes (each column is a quantum dot solution, and different organic acids are added in parallel into each row), and testing the fluorescence intensity of the blank quantum dot solution and the fluorescence intensity of the quantum dot solution after the organic acid is added. And (3) introducing chemometrics Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) to extract fluorescence spectrum characteristic information, and realizing the discrimination of the organic acid sample species. In addition, by adding organic acid samples with different concentrations, after the spectral information of the organic acid samples is obtained through testing, accurate judgment of the organic acid samples is achieved (figure 2), and responses of four quantum dots and 5 organic acids are tested. The experiment was repeated 6 times in parallel, three sets of fluorescence spectrum data were recorded each time, and finally 18 sets of fluorescence spectrum data were obtained. The accuracy of the cross validation of the cutting method is 100%, which is shown in table 2. The fluorescence ensemble spectrum was analyzed by partial least squares regression to quantitatively analyze 5 acids of hexanoic acid, acetic acid, lactic acid, butyric acid, and heptanoic acid, as shown in fig. 3(a) -3 (E). The concentrations of the 5 organic acids in the sample to be tested need to be diluted to 10-80 mu mol/L.

The concentration of cadmium telluride quantum dots of each channel in the quantum dot array sensor is the same, the concentration is determined by quantum yield of quantum dots fluorescence, the detection condition of fluorescence spectrophotometry is excitation voltage 400V, the slit of excitation wavelength and emission wavelength is 10nm, and the test is completed in a cuvette of 1 multiplied by 1 cm. The original fluorescence intensity of the quantum dots is about 1600-2000.

And (3) constructing a quantum dot fluorescent sensor array for testing and identifying the white spirit by using the acid-sensitive quantum dots obtained in the step (1). The 10uL quantum dot solution is diluted by 100 times until the fluorescence intensity at the emission wavelength of each quantum dot is about 1600 to 2000, which is the original fluorescence intensity F0. Diluting the white spirit sample by 10 times with 52% alcohol to be used as a test sample, adding 10uL of the white spirit test sample into 990uL of diluted quantum dot solution, uniformly mixing, testing the fluorescence intensity after 10 minutes, and recording the spectrum data. And (4) adding different white spirits in sequence, and testing the corresponding fluorescence spectra according to the method.
Then, according to the same method, the response of other three quantum dots to the white spirit is tested. The above experiment was repeated six times, three sets of fluorescence spectrum data were recorded each time, and the final spectrum data was the average of 18 data. The fluorescence intensity of the quantum dot solution is reduced with different degrees after different white spirits are added.
The ratio of the fluorescence intensity (F) of the quantum dots after the white spirit is added to the original fluorescence intensity (F0) of each quantum dot at the emission wavelength is used as the ordinate, different white spirits are used as the abscissa, and the fluorescence response modes obtained by the response of different quantum dots and 30 white spirits are obtained, and as shown in FIG. 4, each white spirit sample has a unique fluorescence label.
In this example, 30 representative commercial wines and 6 year wines were selected as test samples (tables 3 and 4).
